Sleeve gastrectomy in Turkey

Sleeve gastrectomy: what is it?

Sleeve gastrectomy removes a large part of the stomach by laparoscopy to reduce its capacity and act on satiety, as part of an overall management of obesity. In Turkey, this procedure is part of a highly developed medical tourism sector.

Turkey is offered by Olea Medical as an alternative to Tunisia, our priority destination.

Goals of the procedure

• Lastingly reduce the capacity of the stomach
• Support significant weight loss
• Improve comorbidities where possible
• Fit within medical and nutritional follow-up

Who is it for? Indications

• Obesity meeting the surgical criteria
• Failure of well-conducted medical measures
• Absence of contraindication after assessment
• Commitment to lasting follow-up

Only a healthcare professional can determine whether a procedure is suitable for your situation, following a medical assessment.

Techniques

Preparation, procedure and anaesthesia

After remote assessment and on-site evaluation, the procedure is performed by laparoscopy under general anaesthesia in a partner facility, with a short hospital stay. The major Turkish hubs have recent infrastructure.

Aftercare, recovery and results

Rest and a progressive diet in the first few weeks, gradual return to activities. The recovery time before the return flight, longer from Turkey, is factored into the arrangements. Weight loss spreads over several months and depends on nutritional follow-up.

Risks and limitations

• Risks related to anaesthesia, a fistula or deficiencies, explained during consultation.
• Lasting nutritional follow-up and supplementation are necessary.
• The result depends heavily on adherence to follow-up.

Your medical stay in Turkey

A stay in Turkey requires planning for a longer flight, to be reconciled with the hospital stay and recovery. Olea Medical arranges the welcome, transfers, accommodation and remote follow-up through its major international hubs.
